Fuel filler door sticks out in one corner, do you have this too?

[NDBlackEX]

New fuel door was supposed to go in yesterday. Apparently the tech broke a cable or something trying to install it so they had to order a part. Supposedly going to be done today. Hopefully it looks better and nothing makes noise. They had to tear apart the interior of the car to get to it.

Yikes! Mine sticks out ever so slightly, but not noticeable unless you really look close. I think I'm going to not worry about it and hope it doesn't get worse.

I've never had to push in the door to open it. My finger fits behind the top corner and I could just grab it. I wish I could post a video. When you lock the car it bumps out even further.

Can you grab corner and still open it even when the car is locked?

No. The lock still worked.

That would bug me too much and I’d have to get that fixed.

I'm thankful for no mechanical or electrical issues so far. All the issues have been fit and finish related.

The one wary of the Telluride is the fuel filler door. I think just about all of them stick out to some degree. You’d think they would have resolved the issue by now.

It really bugs me that:

A) I have to have my $40k+ vehicle repaired twice because they did a half assed job of assembly. With still unresolved fit and finish issues that I'm choosing to live with.

B) The dealer would give me back my vehicle which was half ass assembled in the first place, half ass assembled and missing parts.

I'm having one of those days where I'm NOT loving my Telluride.

WOW! That's bad!

Much better now.

That's about what mine looks like - just an ever so slight crack atthe upper-right, but not noticable unless you look really close.

Those filler doors are only held on by small plastic clips and will break quite easily, ask me how I know.

Which part is? They had to tear out my cargo area interior to replace the assembly.

Easy enough to fix with some super glue, but unnerving during the moment.
